‘Honouring Those Who Betrayed Us’: Sanjay Raut Slams Sharad Pawar For Presenting Award To Eknath Shinde In Delhi 

Published

Mumbai: Maharashtra’s Deputy Chief Minister, Eknath Shinde, was honoured with the Mahadji Shinde Rashtra Gaurav Award on Tuesday. The award was presented in Delhi by former Union Agriculture Minister Sharad Pawar. However, this event has sparked political controversy in Maharashtra. Sanjay Raut, spokesperson for Shiv Sena Uddhav Thackeray faction, has strongly criticised Pawar for honouring the person responsible for splitting their party.

Sanjay Raut Expresses Dissatisfaction On Sharad Pawar’s Actions

Speaking to the media, Raut expressed his disappointment, stating, “Maharashtra’s politics is taking a strange turn. We need to reassess who is deceiving whom and who is being deceived. Eknath Shinde, who toppled Maharashtra’s government and betrayed us, should not have been honoured by Sharad Pawar. That is our sentiment.”

He further added, “How will we face the people of Maharashtra now? While it’s true that there are no permanent friends or enemies in politics, those who have harmed Maharashtra and whom we consider its enemies should not be honored in this manner. It is a blow to Maharashtra’s pride and self-respect. This might be Pawar’s perspective, but the people of Maharashtra do not agree. We respect Sharad Pawar, but this decision has deeply hurt us.”

Raut stated that the honour given to Shinde was painful for Shiv Sena (UBT). “Those who split Shiv Sena are being felicitated, and this is causing us great anguish. Politics in Delhi might be different, but this has hurt us. Some things should be avoided in politics. Even if there are ongoing discussions between you and Ajit Pawar, we tread carefully before taking any step forward,” he said.

Literary Festivals Are Marketplace For Political Deals: Raut

He also criticised the political environment in Delhi, claiming that what was happening there was not a literary gathering but political bargaining. “This is not a literary festival; it’s a marketplace for political deals. Awards and honours are being handed out arbitrarily. What connection do these people have with literature? I question the organizers, did you go to Delhi for literary service or for political brokerage? What service have you done for Marathi literature? Instead of honouring those who uphold Maharashtra’s dignity, you are felicitating those who trample upon it. This is not a literary event but a political deal in Delhi,” Raut remarked.

Despite his criticism, Raut revealed that he had received an invitation to the event and planned to attend. “I have been invited, and I will go. Any true Marathi individual will not stay away,” he concluded.

Muslim representative delegation met police commissioner Deven Bharti on Mumbai loudspeaker, stop action till Eid-ul-Adha: Azmi

Mumbai: Muslim representatives met Mumbai Police Commissioner Deven Bharti and lodged an objection against the removal of loudspeakers from mosques, saying that only mosques are being targeted, which is completely wrong, while the principle of noise pollution is equally applicable to all, but only on the complaint of BJP leader Kirit Somaiya there is a risk of deteriorating the environment by removing loudspeakers from mosques, and a demand was also made to stop police action to maintain law and order.

Maharashtra Samajwadi Party leader and Assembly member Abu Asim Azmi told the media after meeting the Police Commissioner on the loudspeaker issue that Mumbai Police Commissioner Deven Bharti said that no action will be taken against loudspeakers till Eid-ul-Azha, while Azmi drew the attention of the Police Commissioner on this issue that unilateral action is being taken only against mosques. The police take action after the complaint of Kirit Somaiya and then the action starts. He said that the issue of removing loudspeakers from mosques is threatening peace in Mumbai. Azmi said that the way Kirit Somaiya and Nitish Rane are demonstrating provocations has spoiled the atmosphere of Mumbai city.

The police should also take action against them to maintain law and order. Police Commissioner Deven Bharti has assured the delegation that he will take necessary steps on this issue and action will be taken as per the law. Abu Asim Azmi, while expressing concern over mischief on Eid-ul-Azha, told the Police Commissioner that the way some miscreants are constantly trying to create conflict in societies by offering sacrifices. On Nitish Rane’s venom regarding sacrifice in societies, Azmi said that sacrifice is offered in societies and it is done legally, there is no problem in it, but some people are presenting sacrifice as an issue to spoil the environment. He said that even in Hinduism, cats are offered, then no one objects. On Nitish Rane’s demand for virtual sacrifice, he said that Islam will follow Sharia and Muslims offer sacrifices only according to Sharia and the law has allowed us to do so.

Samajwadi Party leader Yousuf Abrahani, Advocate Amin Solkar, Khateeb and Imam of Hari Masjid Maulana Zubair Ahmed Barkati were also present in this representative delegation. Yousuf Abrahani said that legal action is being taken on the loudspeaker issue and the court is also being approached, while all the conditions imposed on the loudspeaker issue are illegal, while the Supreme Court had ordered decibel control and decibels have been fixed, accordingly, loudspeakers are used in mosques, but the police are taking action under pressure from the Kirit Somaiya and the police do not have the authority to remove loudspeakers from mosques, but despite this, this process is continuing, while the Mumbai Police Commissioner has also assured of necessary action on this issue.
